Wedding

February 11, 2018

"I know Matt will also be there for me and he reminds me daily why he loves me. Any hard times that we might face, I know that we will be there for each other." ~Miranda

Miranda & Matt are a shy intellectual couple, who have exceptional tastes. They choose plum purples and gold with hints of wood tones. Sometimes the best loves are the ones you find when you aren't looking. These two seemed to always attend the same gatherings and every time get into long and wonderful conversations. Four years after their first meeting they decided to tie the knot at Canopy Creek near Dayton, Ohio. I was so excited to see their traditional and modern style fuse with Canopy Creek's farm backdrop.

It was my first wedding with planner Melissa Lohr, she was fantastic! On top of being incredibly helpful and organized she also performed the couples wedding ceremony. That's a full service wedding planner! She is based in Cincinnati but travels to my area for planning. You should check her out at Beautiful Memories Wedding & Event Planning.

Makayla & Paul // Wedding

February 4, 2018

This is one of my favorite weddings from 2017, everyone say "O-H-I-O!"! When I met Makayla & Paul I knew their day would be beautiful and full of love. Their big day was held at Franklin Park Conservatory in Columbus, Ohio. It's a wonderful Victorian style conservatory surrounded by gardens so they opted for an ALL OUTDOOR EVENT! Their beautiful ceremony was held at sunset with Makayla's baby sister as their flower girl. The most exciting moment of the day was when Brutus the Buckeye (the Ohio State Football Mascot) made a surprise appearance. All of the guest danced and were invited to get individual images with him.

Don't miss the special T-Rex moment below!

Taylor & Josh // Wedding

January 30, 2018

Taylor and Josh are my dream couple. They are unique. They don't want to do anything the way "it's supposed" to be done. They opted for an outdoor ceremony at the very non-traditional Glen Helen Ecological Center, right in the heart of Yellow Springs, Ohio. The home of art, love, Antioch College and place where comedian Dave Chappelle calls home.

Taylor and Josh brought in quirky unique elements all over their wedding, check out her shoes!!!! These two go together like Peanut Butter & Jelly. The groom is a talented graphic designer with Casual Taco, you have to check out their invitations.

Check out their Yellow Springs and camping engagement photos here.

Cat & Brandon // Costa Rica Wedding

September 12, 2017

I adore intimate weddings, add an extremely beautiful location to the equation and it is simply ahhmazing. Cat & Brandon's Costa Rica wedding was just that. Surrounded by 30 or so of their family and friends in a beautiful villa, the couple was able to relax and focus on the celebration of their love. The bride and groom kept things very mellow and low key which I think you can really see in everyone's faces. Nothing but joy. Congrats to the happy couple!

Side note: that officiant is cute (hehe, it's my husband)
